ALOHA MITZVAH! - A Luau in Balloons

A LUAU is ALWAYS in-style! And to decorate your luau with pizazz....
do it in BALLOONS!
(Photos courtesy of Marci Shill Photography...the nice ones are, that is.
The others are courtesy of a few cell phones.)
As guests entered, they were "washed-ashore" by a giant balloon rip curl! 
(About 1000 balloons in the "water" alone.)



A balloon "surfer dude" rode the balloon wave as well.
(Seems most every guy that sees this claims it was modeled after him...)


A very "touristy" balloon tiki hut served as a backdrop for a refreshing frozen tropical drink station for the teenagers  (12' wide, 3' deep, and 9' tall). 
Sure hope those tiki torches don't catch the hut roof on fire!

 "The Balloon People" came and set-up beautiful tropical palm trees throughout the room
 that we decorated with a variety plants, flowers and animals. (Thanks, Francine!)

 
We built a framed, non-helium, 32' Tropical Floral Arch that spanned the dance floor -
a colorful, elegant backdrop for the Polynesian dancers that performed that night. 
This is my wonderful husband JOE - I consider him to be the backbone of Balloon Happy AZ, LLC
He engineers and builds all the framing I need for my balloon project designs....
and helps with most everything else. 
What a guy!

Marta Hoburg (Bee Happy Balloons) and Kristy Edel (Twisty Kristy) -
Two FABULOUSLY talented balloon artists! 
We all work together as a team on large projects like this. 
Thank you, ladies!


And the rest of the team who made this all possible....
